Heaven help the hapleas boy or girl who dared to doae or exhibit the slightest symptoms of inatten- tion dnriog the preacher's aisconrse .Softly wooldj the arif al and lynx-eyed William creep along the cocoa-nut matting natil he waa within striking distance of h-a prey, and then the cane waa cautionaly raiaed, to dee- cend upon the head orahoalders of the lack- lesa victim with a thwa-.k that sounded all I over the bnildiog. And if the watchful j Billy, whole attention to hia master's homily I mast havebetn of a ratber divided sort, fail- I ed to detect a delinqaent, the stern voice j from the pulpit, whicb he knew too well, j would at once call hia attention to the omia- aioo. It waa on one of these occasiona, I when Billy waa guilty of a dereliction of duty, that the first memorable exploit of onr Stickler mcased as brafa a man as ever face. cloth. I suppoae thaie doaoe people were right, and that it woald teve exteusted even the resonreea of Tarreydroptan deport- ment to have carried ofT aach a scene with dignity. But thst wsa the oaly time that Joseph Stickler waa ever known to allow his eccentricity to imperil his dignity aa a rule, the latter was invariably the accom- paniment and correction of the former. Midd'e-ageU propriety, then, might be excused for failing to see anything heroic in conduct which bad only won the irreverent admiratfoa of persons addicted to tiiiog a aporting view of even the gravest matters, bat not the leis smong that class had the Rev. Joaeph Stickier eitabli«hed himself ss a hero. It waa not \oog, however, before even the " unoo guid " of Djnjonville were compelled to a^lmit that their respected and esteemed, though eccentric, parson waa veritably and uomistaksbly a heroâ€" of the aort which a delighted aad sympathetic Sovereign is proud to decorata with the Vio- toria Cross or the Albert Medal.

It was a warm day in summer, and, what ' with the heat and tbe sonorous ejoquence of ' the preacher, there was a general duposi- tion to drowsiness among the congregation which noihinx but a strong sense of duty and the exercise bf considerable se?f-control I could overcome. Kvcn the vigilant custodian I of juvenile morals nodded at hia post, and I forgot that there was an eagle rye upon him. fSuidenly the preacher paused, and, in a I voice that hai more of sorrow tlian of anger in it, called " Billy Marks ' I'p to his feet in sn instant spiang Billy, conscious of his own backsliding, touched with remorse by the reproachful accenta of I his master, burnioj to atone lor his fault by some extraordinary display of zeal. TIfe first object which met ihc zealcus aud re. pentant William's eye.^, ai, confnssJ snl only half awake, lie glM-ed aiouud him for a viciim, wa3 the head of a very young eiui;n who M31 peacefully alumberinK in tbe cor- ner of tbe oHlcers' pow. Without pouting to think of tbe constqueuccs, U.lly brought j his cane down, tbwack right upon tbe scone of the sleeping warrior. That gallant j youth sprang instantly upright at the touch of thia lude Ithuritls spear, and gazjd round him with a wild bewildered atare. ' On all 6ides he saw grinning faces â€" in audi- ble titter ran through the schoolchildren â€" 1 sounds suggestive of suppressed cacbinnation ' came from behind pocket-h«ndkerchiefs applied ostensibly to tbe normal use the cheeks of his fellow officers were undistin- ' goishable in colour from their uniforms, and their heads were bent in aii attitude whicb ' could ecarcely be accepted aa devotionaL i A ghastly and horrible suspicion stole into 1 the mind of the yoang ensign that he waa the oLjcct of all tkii unstemlv mirth, and I that he had somehow, though be had not the faintest idea how, made himself snp- remely ridiculous. With crimson and per- ' spiring countenance he sat as rigid as the tinted Venus for the ramaioder of the aer- I raon, suffering all the agonies of a martyr at I Smtbtield. Whether the Rev. Jowph .Sucklir had porceived Billy .M trk's r.iistake ' or not, n one could tell he went on imper- i tnrbably with hia sermon as if nothing had teppened bat if he had tboroagbly rcudiz^id all that had happeneJ, and I am inclined to I suspect that he had, the control which he exercised over his nerves was of itself heroic, ' and worthy of an ancient Stoic or an Indian brave. Be this as it may, however, the I sequel was a scsne which none who witneaa- ed it woald ever forget. The barracks were bat a short distance from tbe chapel, both being ritnatsd in the imposing and spacious square which Donjon- villitei sptke of proudly aa "tbe parade," i and which was pronounced by a Doojonville cabinet maker, whp bad once visited Lin- I don, to bo far superior to even the worid- famod Trafalgar-tquare.

His knees had been hidden from his sight tor year«. Ha had them which is always noticable in a crowd when something tragic is astir. The Rev. Joseph Stickler walked in and inquired the I cause of the commotion. He wai told that I one cf the men, a wi'd fellow named Hen- neaay, had gone mad with the litetions which he had imbiled at the feaative season, had locked himself in the guari-rosm armed him- self with a leaded mueke*, snd was threaten- ing to shoot any one who approached him. " Have you inf, rmcd the officer oa duty " asked the chaplain. " Tbe ofiicers, iir, are all away at a dioner-pirty." " And Where's the itergeant of the guird " " Hero, tir."

The chaplain's faca grew dour and black there was a linging resolute tone of com- mand in his voice as he said, "Fetch me a blacksmith at once. Tom Bayncs is the best man and tell him to bring his forehammer with him." A messenger waa despatched for the black- smith. In the interval the chsplain calmly reconnoitred the guard-room, and the soldiers stsod looking at him, thair voices hushed into whisperj, wondering what would come next and what tbe panon was about to do. They were not looa kept in suspense. The messenger returned, bringing with him Tom Bayoes the blactemith, a bis, gaant, powerful maa. black with the grims of the forge, girt with his leathern apron, hia fore- hammer oa his ahoalder. Touohing his forelock to the pars3n, Tom looked at him in Some bewildermmt. Motioning to tbe guarJ-room door, the chaplain move I for- wards, saying, "Thia way, Biynea." When the door wa^ leichsd the voice of the madman waa heard within blaapheming terribly, and yelling threats of vengeance against every mother's son of them. Tha blacksmith paused, and his face lengthened. Here was a queer job be didn't half like it. He scratcbea his beat and began ti reflect, but ha refleotioni were cat short by fie chaplain, " Tom, I want you to break-in that door a c nple of blows will do it." Tom Baynea hesita'od.

The senior captain, Spofforth, a portly florid man, who belied his appearance by being really "tbe coolest hsnd going," hav- iog closed the door, addressed the young ensign with great seriousness. " Voci know, Sparkei," hesaid, "thia is not the first time the regiment haa been grossly insulteJ by the cteplaio.

"Now, you black.coated old devil- dodger, out of the way there, and lot me have a clear shot at that sergeant Out o' the way, I tell ye, or else I'll blow your head to pieces " " Sergeant," cried the chaplain, io a voice "Ye-e»," stammered Sparks, who was exceedingly angry still, and very red in the I face, but didn't quite see how bis seniof's °^ thunder, "arrest that man at once " injunctiona were to te carried oat.

If Mr. Stickler had any mundane vanity, and even the baat of men are not without it,' hia legs were tbe object of that vanity.

Joseph Stickler a physique. Bat his manners were even more remarkable than hia figure. He had a blunt forcible way of calling a spade a spade, both honse, snd immediately demanding sn ample apilogy on behalf of tbe regimenr, whicb has been outraged in your person." Tbe recollection of that sounding thwac'j from Billy Mark's cane ruahed into Ensign Sparkes's mind hia blood tingled at tbe thought of that monstrous indignity, and he answered firmly. "You may trast me. Captain Spofforth better. The first man that paases that door I'll aend to hell in quick time." And iu cxtennation tf tbe sergeant's teck- wardne»a it must te admitted that the fellow looked as if he meant to keep his word. He waa a desperate, determined, and ferocioua man at any time but now that he was literally and uncontrollably mad with drink, te waa capable of any crime. "Am I to arrest this man myself, ser- geant ' aaked the chaplain, in a quiet firm vaice, very differeat from the angry tone of B g with aelf-importance as the accredited ctempion of the regiment. Ensign Sparkes clapped on his ateko fiercely, and strode out mto the square to exact |.rompt repara- tioa from tte insalter. Meauwhile, unconsciona of all these machinations, tbe Rev. Joaeph Sliekler quietly disrobed himself in the vestry, and then proceeded to cross tbe parade to his house. Just sa he wai opposite tbe barrack- gates and iu front of the terrack-windows, be became aware of a tall figure, in scarlet, approaching him with rap d stepa. In another inaunt the Rev.

It is refreshing to tarn from a considera- tion of the money matters of Turkey to those of Greece. It is a mistake to anppoee thbt King George's small domain is in a chronic sute of impecuuioaity. Yet such is the pre- valent opinion, and tbe astute Greeks like to encourage it. The difference in the cred- it of the two countries is sufficient to exem- plify the erroneousnea 1 f looking apon Greece .-u a land of bjggars. Tbe paper money of tbe Turkish Government is worth only ateut 8i per cent of iu faca value, whila that ot Gre-.cj is worth 67 per ceat. which is rather more than the value of the paper of Ita'y. The piy of the Greek offi- cial, though meagre, ia not in arrears. Since 2830, when Epirus, Thessalv, and Ciete weregivtnto the Tnrks, those provinces have steadily declined in prosperity, while the rest of (Greece has trebled its revenues and more than doubled its population. Tbe na-.ional debt of Greece ii atiout $60,000 000, the interest on whicli amounts to $2,750,- 000, and her annaal revenue is stent $,300,- (XW. When Greece again gets poesession of her lost provinces, her revenue will quick- ly increase to nearly treble wh»t it is now. This gain to Greece will prove dstrimen- Ul to the intereata of the creditore of Tur- key, for the lois of the three provinces will perceptibly lessen their stcnr.ty. Had the Governments of Europe assisted KingOeorge in regaining hia lost provinces, thejw might reasonably nave saddled him with part of the payment of tbe interest on the Turkish bonds. Greece will now, in all probability, have TO FUJHT EOR UER OW.V, and will te under n- moral obligation^to burden herself with Turkey's liabilities te si«Je she will have to increaie her own na- tional I'eSt in order to meet the expense! of tha war.
